court and we are noting to deal and iran does not. they are modernizing the uranium and march in the direction they want as a nuclear weapon . i don't think talks will solve that problem unfortunately. >> stow the fact that he is saying this now is it nothing out of the ordinary except he is making it in a time when people are concerned about what the future holds as iran holds the ball in his court. >> he is in a conference of a national security in europe and all of the europeans there . a feel-good conference in all honest i and trying to send a signal . all we have to do is step back and look at what happened with the obama administration and eight years of the bush and carter administration. they don't want to negotiate. they are hell bent on going to have a nuclear weapon and we

must finally realize that and take the appropriate covert action without describing it here to stop that from happening. >> this s another story that made headlines. contentous hearingings over chuck hagel's nomination for secretary. we'll listen to that right now. >>ip am not going to give you a yes or no answer. >> let the record show you refuse tod answer the qui. now please go ahead. >> there is john mccain among the senators who were grilling hagel about his views on issues ranging from iran to israel. were you surprised by the way hagel conducted himself? in they felt he should have been more prepared? >> i astonished really. i know he's more skill would than that. you would have thought with all . publicity he would have had

good scripted answers and looked down and responded that way and clearly the sturge was a success. he could have said i like many others didn't think it was and take his medicine and go on. his answers were ill conceived and convuulated it gives a lack of confidence in a rather talented person. the republicans may have to go to a 60 vote and will that would mean a filibuster and this is it probably the poorest performance of any person that we have had in history that i have seen. >> we expect that vote to take place next week . quickly what took place in the embassy in turkey. a terrorist suspect blows himself up . known to have terror ties whampt does it say?

that area it relatively secure for the most part. >> it is it and it was surprising. they are trying to make it look like a left wing group. the left wing marxist are not martyrs that. goes back to radical islamist and back to iran. there is it a lot not known. becomings a martyr he is a radical islamist and i think that will make it way back through syria and iran when they do it. the turks don't want to say that because that creates a lot of problems in the region for them. but astute observers will say that is where it is coming from. >> always great to see you for your insight. there are a lot of hot spots we will have to keep a watch on. >> and we want to ask you. should u.s. hold direct talks with iran.

tweet your answers to us at hurricaneuma and i will read your responses later in this hour. i believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here even though sometime back they may have entered illegally. >> president ronald reagan discussing his support for amnesty. he hoped that there would be strict border enforcement and more than two decades later it is it a problem . now stiantors are announcing this week they want a path to citizenship with a promise much stricter border inforcement . earlier, i talk would to michael reagan to look back >> my father is waiting for

border security and gone from the united states and died in 2004 . we need to live up to what happened in nine 86 under simpson and secure our borders and yet chuck shumer talking about that. that securing the borders should not be the enemy of dealing with the illegals in this country. back in '86, the argument was in we don't secure the border and we are giving amnesty it will be a great influx of more illegals in the country and that's what happened and that's what we need to do first. take care . border and then you deal with the 11 million people who are here and you center to fix the whole immigration policy in the united states of america. you can't stand in line for 10-15 years to get in america. that's why the brains are going to the other country in the world. america doesn't want anybody anymore.

>> did your father regret the decision knowing that the enforcement was eclusive. >> he . and he was upset with the fact that the border was never secured and that promised to him in that piece of legislation. what a lot of people don't understand. when we cut out the program in the 1960s because . farm labor unions. we didn't stop hispanics from coming in to the united states of america. we stopped them from going home to the count reaps of origin . now you have a great group of hispanics here are now illegal because of the program that was stopped and families on the other side of the border who didn't want to be with the families in the united states. there is it a lot to the issue that needs to be fixed and we need to get to the bottom of it and build it from the bottom up and not from top down. >> you wrote in a colume said

republicans should be welcome to immigrants and until the parity changings, the democrats will own the latino vote like they own the black vote. do you think it riskings a possible that republicans will be seen as a group that is obstructing progress on immigration? >> the reality is. they understand the securing the border of the united states of america. those people come in and end up taking their jobs and taking their jobs and pushing the pay down . so they understand border enforcement and what happens, is that the republican party, you will only hear the outrageous statements about send everybody home and pick up the 11 receive -- million . take the kids born here and brought here illegally and

send them home. ronald reagan parts of the dream act that ronald reagan would not support and he has president would bring people in the white house and find areas of agreement and sign that legislation and sign on to that piece of legislation. we don't need to talk about this in an angry way. we need to figure out a right way to deal with it. start with the border and secure the border and deal with the immigration policies that are not allowing people into this country and make them wait in line 10-15 years. i have a friend of mine who waited in line 17 years to become a citizen of the united states of america. that is outrageous. you just go to another count ripe . the whole policy needs to be fix then you dial with the 11 million and to think that pime are willie nilly coming forward . people are showing up and be shipped home are stupid on its

face. that is not going to happen. something else needs to be done. >> and let me ask you in terms of your thoughtless of why you think the white house is bringing up the issue now. there are concerns about widge issues to stark contrast between the gop and democrat. is it a wedge issue for the gop? >> yes, if is it a wedge issue and that's what the president is trying to do. he will not want to lose the senate in 2014. he is trying to take back the house of representatives. i spoke in florida friday before thanksgiving to a group much 400 people. you need to be embracing ronald reagan and not just tuke about him. he was inclusive and not exclusive. the republican party sounds exclusive . what i did was with all . blackings in the room please now rise. now would the hispanics please stand up. no one stood up.

until we start bringing people to the table where we are setting the table insteved clearing the table nothing is going to change. a good friend of my in los angeles did that. we need to reach out to people who are doing it reach out to martinez and cruzs . bring people who understand the issue to the table instead of rhetoric about the issue. just a short bit. open immigration flood gatings . he will join us why he said open borders. >> and there is much more coming your way in america's new headquarters. authorities on the hunt after an assistant district attorney is gunned down . then we'll bring you the amazing story of a skier who took on the toughest diamond black run despite being blind.
